Because she is casting some transexuals in a video, it's going to be epic?

You are all about equality, but when something happens in the LGBT community, all of a sudden it's EPIC….what if she put out a casting call for straight 20-30 white men….would you post that and gush over how epic it was going to be? Didn't think so. So much for equality.

Re: hell2dno – U BEAT ME TO IT!! LOLz. LADY CACA IS A TRANNY HERSELF AND SELF ADMITTED CRACK WHORE AND COCAINE SNORTER. AND REALLY, WHO CARESSS. UNLESS THEY GOIN TO SHOW GENITALIA WHO REALLY GIVES A FUCK AND HIGHLY DOUBT THIS IS "EPIC" AS FAT BOY PUTS IT. TO BE MORE ACCURATE LADY CACA CALLS HERSELF A HERMAPHRODITE. TRUTH!!!!!

Exactly what I would have expected of her. She's extremely good at pop music - and nothing more. She thinks she's the fucking messiah or something. She's getting irritating now that she's trying so hard to be politically important. Gaga, don't try to turn your stuff into something it isn't. This is exactly what made the Harry Potter books start to suck.

This is kind of ironic, since the problem with trannies is precisely that they're NOT born that way.

Re: heidelberg – Exactly!I enjoy her music but I don't like to look at her or listen to what she has to say in interviews. She tries to hard. She's beyond annoying. I'm all for equal rights and all, don't get me wrong, but you're totally right TRANNIES are NOT born that way.

Re: hell2dno – She's not a tranny. The proof is out there, plenty of pictures of her FEMALE nether bits. YOu're just too lazy to look it up or you love being wrong (probably the latter). She's not even trying to be Madonna or anyone else. If you weren't so ignorant (again), you'd realize that her work transcends what Madonna did in her early career. Madonna is ONE of her influences but not the only one, and not even the most important one. Educate yourself or STFU

Re: sensfan999 – She cast FtM transgenders in Telephone too, so if the rumor is true, it's not the first time she's used trans people in her videos. How epic it will be will depend on the song and the narrative of the video. But knowing Gaga, yes, I'd say it's likely to be epic and raise the bar once again for outstanding music videos. Sing & dance videos alone just don't cut it anymore. As for your complaint about equality, straight white men have a loooooong way to go before they have any right to complain about inequality, especially compared to the inequalities facing the trans community

Re: heidelberg – You are wrong there dear, transexuals are people who are born in the wrong body, maybe a better way of putting it would be they should have been born that way but weren't due to an accident of genetics! Frankly I don't care who she casts in her videos, ever since Paparazzi they have always been well worth watching, a cut above most of the crap churned out on MTV these days - men, women, straight, gay, trans, who cares so long as the video and the song are good which, given her recent video offerings, is pretty much a given. I am so sick the album is not coming out until May, at least we have the single to look forward to very soon (and I'm not a little monster either).

Roisin Murphy did it.
Madonna did it.
And others have too. Not saying that no one else can do it because it's been done before, but when her fans(AKA Stans) and the media start to say "Oh she is so bold,innovative and isn't afraid to go there!!!" It's hard not to bring up that it's been done before.

no one is saying its not been done before. the media makes it out to be more then it is. i think the more people address it the better for the lgbt community. whats wrong with someone supporting something with all her heart? whats wrong with her wanting to cast who ever she wants in the video? being gay men, gay women, drag queens, trans gendered, black, white, orange, blue. put your hating asses away and let this person make some music that yes for you it might mean nothing more then a pop tune, but for a lot of people it means another person fighting for their rights and another person that makes them feel good about themselves. she promotes love for all and for oneself. i dont think she is doing anything wrong.

good for her…all these celebs are "gay rights" but they are never very inclusive of gays in their music video (exception: katy perry). they have all helped open the ears of the general public to the gay community, because of their exposure, now they need to open the publics eyes! good job, gaga!

1: Don't be daft, Heidlberg. We're born trans, just like straight people were born straight, and gay people were born gay. Were we born with bodies that fit our genders? Are gay people born kissing people of the same sex? Transition isn't what you're born with, it's how you deal with what you're born with.

2: Plenty of people have cast Transpeople in videos before, including lady Gaga. What makes this special is that she's making the statement that we're BORN THIS WAY, BABY!!! Something that apparently needs to be said, judging by the attitudes of Heidleberg and his cronies.

In response to those citing that transsexuals are not "born that way," of course they are. People who identify as transsexual have identified themselves as the sex they know they truly are and their physical appearance is only the identity visible to others. They have known from their birth what their true sex is and they may choose to express that however they are able or wish. Also, why would anyone think casting a certain demographic is "too much," especially as we know that the intent of Gaga, who is a supporter of LGBT rights, is to promote a positive image of this minority group which is usually shunned from popular culture and is therefore given a negative connotation. Music artists (and many artists in general) cast specific demographics just as heavily as this instance, if not more so, spanning the entirety of their work.

LOL, I can see this video being a massive failure joke like Alejandro where she's going to look like crap, the video will make no sense and be nine minutes long.. LOL she better not do a ten minute video again.

Re: SupremeSass – "Everyone knows she's amazingly talented" .. obviously not. Actually it's the reverse. So many people dump on her, she's NOT amazingly talented. So many people play the piano and sing better than her, knowns and unknowns. Alicia Keys writes better songs and has a better voice. That's amazing talent! Norah Jones is an amazing pianist and singer. That's amazing talent. None of them need a satellite on their head or an ugly fish outfit either. LOL

Thank you for posting this Perez, I would certainly love to know where to sign up for the audition!!
It did however amaze me how ignorant people still are about Transsexuals. We are born this way. We Have female brains from birth. Do some research.
